Mama claims her own brand of freedom this weekend by throwing off the tyranny of dramas and electing to watch comedies:

Wilfred

The hijinks of a hobbit (Elijah Wood) and the canine he sees as an acerbic man in a dog costume (Jason Gann) strikes Mama as more of a senior thesis project on humor than a series. The jokes are obvious: Wilfred poops in someone’s shoe, chases a ball and humps a pretty waitress. If the series can learn a few new tricks, the dog-is-man story could win Mama over.

State of Georgia

Out of all the Cosby kids, Mama doesn’t understand why Raven-Symoné is the one with a career. In this fish-out-of-water show, she plays an annoying, self-absorbed starlet — duh? — who heads to New York to crash with her aunt (Loretta Devine) in Disney’s idea of Manhattan, complete with a palatial pad that makes the “Friends” apartment look like Mama’s first basement studio in Astoria.

The Big C

Why is “The Big C” a comedy, while AMC’s “Breaking Bad” — about another high-school teacher dealing with a cancer diagnosis — a drama? Both have ironic, whimsical moments embedded in dramatic, often tragic stories, but “C” is supposedly funny because it’s only a half hour? Mama’s tired of big-name actresses hijacking the comedy genre because they think it’s an easier path to an Emmy.

Louie

Although this smart comedy often takes dark turns — last week we witnessed the beheading of a homeless man — the upcoming apartment search episode is too depressingly familiar if you’ve ever looked for an place in Manhattan with less than an unlimited bank account. Still, most episodes leave Mama wishing that we could just watch the hilarious Louis C.K. do standup for the entire half hour.

Melissa & Joey

Joey Lawrence is the new Tony Danza: He only plays characters who share his name, and now he’s stuck in this “Who’s the Boss: The Next Generation.” If you like your family comedies laced with mild sexual innuendo, look no further.
